Spent last 2yrs basically injured

 

[Pazza]

The club seems pretty set on being a development club, lots of older forwards moving on. A great time to be a young forward at the club.

I

Blaize is going to be a star. The kid is class.
Penrith know what they are doing.

In Attack, the kid is definitely a threat, in defense, an abomination

 

[Gronk]

ABC..A Blind Commentary team..
3 reg 2 Morretti 1 Dyl or Asi or Sivo.
Blaize no frickin way...

* Luke Lewis (has the job of allocating the points)

 

[The EELiminator]

Lomax will be wasted on the wing for us.
I just don't get why people can't see this.

i'm sure both lomax and iongi will get a shot at fullback in the trials we'll see who goes better

 

[Soto]

* Luke Lewis.

Ruan Simms

That is not true and you know it. That comment is actually embarrassing.
We have plenty of massive 1st grade talent.

Sorry Suity, but I agree with @Noise. There is an absolute difference between a 1st grader and a “must keep”. There is nobody on that field yesterday that is a must keep. Some will find contracts elsewhere as they are first graders, but I’d be low balling the lot of them.

To be honest, Moses, Hopgood and Guymer are our only current must keep, and next year we can throw in Lomax.

Dylan Brown is a must keep.

The Blue and Gold Negative glasses worn on here, do not outweigh the numerous NRL experts who have him as a top quality five-eighth.

 

[Twizzle]

and now I can breathe again

 

[Twizzle]

btw, we won and only 13 pages


I rest my case

Dylan Brown is a must keep.

At $700k he’s a must keep, at $900 - $1mill he is on the chopping block. We can get better value.

I’ll also add that nrl experts (including Cronk) have been critical of Drown and his inability to step up when we’ve needed him to without Moses.

Compare him to Luai when their star halfback goes down…

I love the guy. He's my man crush. I know he got caught out in D at fullback but it's no coincidence him being moved from the front line contributed to our embarrassment.
In Ryles we trust.

 

[Gherkin]

Compare him to Luai when their star halfback goes down…

Compare the rest of the team around Luai and the structures in place at Penrith to what Brown is playing in

 

[jk13]

Please tell me you put on this bet. And what odds did you get??

Nah sorry. I pretend bet. Drinks cost too much nowadays

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Yep....I think that last ten minutes just broke us fans mentally....I will never ever be confident until full time with this club

As someone who was at the 98 game. I am never confident until the ref blows the whistle for the final time

That match is creme ala creme on so many levels, anyone that thinks anything else is the same thing has blissfully no idea..

I was there...

I'm still traumatised

My psychiatrist is getting rich off that game

Been saying it for years. He goes missing. He’s a true definition of a flat track bully.
